every guy friend group has a faggot twink these days

it will inevitably make things awkward

>>43419397
How so? I won't tell anyone. I'll wear concealing clothing and bind if I have to. If they notice anything I'll play dumb or say I have gyno.

>>43419334
Yes it is possibly but it obviously depends on the individual and the group. But yes it happens. God I fucking love Halo 2

>>43419403
your skin and smell and whole vibe will change
even if they can't tell what it is it'll be weird

>>43419468
To follow up, will my trans friends think less of me for being on hrt without socially transitioning? I don't want to feel like I'm spitting in their face by being a coward.

>>43419334
if you were already Chad's weird faggy bestie then yeah, it would probably be more of an upset if you were just a normal dude though

>>43419519
Oh fuck I'm so dumb. I just remembered I may or may not have expressed interest in transitioning while I was very drunk with them. I might not be able to hide. I just don't want to voice train or be a woman socially.

>>43419397
don't listen to this fag, I'm still one of the boys

>>43419533
lmao good luck nona

>>43419334
Honestly, you're gonna loss your social standing with other men/women you don't know. People now don't take me seriously and just view me as a girl. It kinda sucks in that aspect of commanding respect from my peers that aren't friends. I might just transition it'd make my life a lot easier than trying to be a girly boy because the boy's don't see me as one and the girl's see me as a ftm outcast

Yes i do that and it works pretty well

>>43419361
this, unfortunately it also comes with the social standing of being a faggot twink

>>43419334
>>43419968
Yeah I'm a woman but I'm also one of the guys. It works, but importantly you have to own the "being a woman" part. Tomboys aren't shy around men.

>>43419334
yea. just don't EVER come out to them. wait for them to confront you. and never tell them ur trans or nb. If u play ur cards right u may get a bf

>>43419334
Halo posting is based and very Fembrained, we can be friends and lovers. Mostly friends tho

>>43419334
> Is it possible to simultaneously kill my entire identity then get magically resurrected as the second coming of Christ for all my friends?

>>43420476
>I'm one of the guys
Delusion. Unless you're ugly

im becoming a ghost. i look ethereal and otherworldly. theres no turning back. the ghost world already called me.

>>43419334
I started hrt with the same idea in my head. But estrogen really fucks your brain if you have dysphoria. And it didn't work in my case.

i mean you can try. i came out and then basically desisted to that friend group like a retard

i dont rlly like most of them that much, there kinda boring and dont rlly respect me that much. one of them i live with now and shit was gotten kinda insane but he also developed mental illness and hes a bi chaser

ur standing will change but all friend groups change over time and you just gotta deal with it. my friend group was damn near identical for the 2 years i was on hrt cuz i was in community college and lived at home but moving away to finish degree def changed things for me and ive gotten slightly less repressed about my self expression

>>43423241
did you standing in your friend group decline? and then when you moved away to college it improved? doesnt taking e improve standing for anyone?

>>43422074
Refer to >>43419533 I may not have a choice
>>43422083
Have you posted in frengen?

This is a problem I have internally.
I want to be one of the guys because they do cool shit but I also have bad dysphoria.

>>43419334
>I hate what testosterone is doing
>I want to stay malebrained
Pick one, retard

>>43419483
I absolutely think less of every trans person that isn't willing to put in the effort of face their fears like I have

>>43419334
yes, just do it, it's literally fine and you should not let others bully you into gender conformity just because you want the effects of estrogen or run better on it

it's your transition
it's your body
it's your life
do it the way you want

>>43419483
Yes and no theyre human you see their opinions on it could differ one could see you as a coward and another could see it as babysteps and not want to force the issue because they value your friendship

>>43419334
yes, just make it clear to the other guys that your holes are free use for stress relief

>>43425076
OP doesn't exist in a vacuum. You are part of your social groups and they are a part of you.

Tge mistake you made quoting the queer imperative is you forgot the people that wrote that shit were 70 IQ hedonists that could think of nothing more than their craving to get sodomized

>>43425100
yeah there will be consequences and some dynamics will change, doesn't mean you can't weather that and still be yourself
>quoting the queer imperative
no clue what this is it sounds fucking gay

>>43425076
ez to say when you still have friends

>>43419334
no one will recognise anything lol. been on HRT for a year and no one has said anything at all

>>43425139
nah I lost most of my "friends" because starting HRT and accepting myself meant I grew a spine and stopped putting up with not being treated like an actual friend (and I could have been way more tactful about it but the hormones made me a bit emotional and insane for a while as things levelled out)

>>43425126
>no clue what this is it sounds fucking gay
I mean its written by queers... it's gonna be pretty gay. The vibe your post had about fuck everybody, do what you want, reminded me of it. We are seeing the backlash from that era, and everybody smart is moving away from a line of thinking that does not consider the impact on others.

>>43425164
you sound like cattle

>>43425153
People know something is off with you, they just don't know what yet

>>43425154
based nona did you ever make new friends?

>>43425175
kind of, took a while and it's been rocky because I tend toward extreme self-isolation but it's a wip and I have some people I talk to and see in person again

>>43425174
you can just say hair loss meds
i got pale gay face on them before e

>>43425169
And you seem like some tiktok brain rotted zoomer that can't read between the lines

>>43425185
im the same i hope i can make new friends some day without having to pretend to be someone im not

>>43425188
ok, kid
>muh backlash
keep victim blaming

>>43425174
you can just say you're trying a new skincare routine lol. HRT honestly doesn't change much that's noticeable to the average person other than skin clearing up

>>43425203
lamo im probably older than you.

And yes, often but not always victims are the ones making their own unfortunate circumstances.

Let me put it to you this way, tardie. Sometimes not following social expecations doesnt come with consequences, sometimes it comes with huge consequences and collateral damage. It ain't cattlebrained to see that phenomenon and go "hmmm, maybe we should be smarter about where we flaunt the rules and not do it when all eyes are on us". That was the reading between the lines part you completely failed

>>43425227
pathetic

>>43425208
I mean growing breasts... growing a feminine ass and thighs that are too big to fit in guy jeans. Crying at stuff being too funny or too sad. Looking 10 years too young for your age... all shit I dealt with when I man moded. It raises eyebrows

yeah, and, by the way, if you can't beat halo 2 on mythic and/or you play on less than 8 sensitivity you're a fucking scrub faggot who should neck itself

>>43425053
"gender is a social construct" until you like fun video games. I don't even know why I post about anything anymore, everyone's compromised. You either get hugboxxed and told literally nothing matters or scolded for not being society's perfect idea of a woman. What exactly is so bad about being a guy on HRT? Can you even blame me for not wanting to socially be a woman when transphobia is so rampant?

>>43425238
solved by having 19 bmi

>>43425264
I was right around there and it all still happened to me. I guess anamax but that is a shitty life with out the disorder forcing you to do it

>>43425243
I think I played on 7, haven't done mythic since I marathoned it (get it?) with my ex one weekend back in the 2000s...

>>43425284
wow what was your regimen?

>>43419334
Works as long as you keep you mouth shut (except to your sexual partner) or you're already known as a fag/weirdo/whatever in which case it also works.
It is however important to keep the booba at bay, either via a SERM or being careful with the dosages or some other method.
The only reason I'm on this board is to check out /hrtgen/ from time to time. Otherwise I'm not even a fag lol. I'm a married father. A few times a year I make me wife lesbian passing at festivals, but otherwise I'm just another guy. Admittedly, if I hadn't have children, I'd be assumed a fag given how I look. But I always a weirdo in terms of appearance so nobody really asks too many questions.
Still, I'd only admit IRL that I take estrogen only if you put a gun to my head. My wife knows but that's it. Nobody else does.
t. 10+ years on hrt

>>43425366
there are a lot of your type round these parts
maybe if everyone didnt keep it secret we wouldnt have to feel weird abt it

>>43425366
Since you mentioned SERM and being careful with other dosages, did you do either or both of those?

>>43425396
>maybe if everyone didnt keep it secret we wouldnt have to feel weird abt it
The reason I keep it secret is because trannies hate me even more than chuds.
I tried to be open about it at the local fag club but they hated me for not being a fag and not being a tranny. And normalfags don't care that much. There simply is no incentive to be open about it and nothing to lose by being quiet about it. In the age of DiY, I don't even have to lie to get it.
I'm also not really interested in the politics either so I got very little in common with too many of you. I just want to look cute and a bit younger than my age. That's it. HRT works for that objective so I do that.
>>43425411
Yes, both.
I took ralox for a while and kept the dosage lower than recommended tranny dosage. The trade-off was slower changes and longer inertia. In all this time this was a problem exactly once, when I dosed a bit too high and it killed my libido. It needed 3 months to come back, lol.
It's an exercise of patience and discipline but also realistic expectations and goals.

trvke i have experienced that too
what do you do if you have to go to a doctor and disclose the medications you are on though?

>>43425470
>what do you do if you have to go to a doctor and disclose the medications you are on though?
I don't disclose. That simple.
I don't live in the USA and distrust of doctors is the absolute norm here anyway. They don't expect full honesty either. And I'm legally entitled to lie or to refuse to answer any question from any doctor for any reason or no reason. I exercise my medical rights very rigidly.

>>43425452
nta but if youre not getting titties why get on hrt?

>>43425576
nicer skin, low(er) T, different/wider emotional expression and overall youthful appearance (of which hrt is just one component).

>>43425587
why low t? why not get a skincare routine? why not practice more empathy? why not accept people age?

>>43425604
>why not get a skincare routine?
I do that too.
>why low t?
Because I feel better that way /shrug
>why not practice more empathy?
Idgaf about empathy. And by the way, if you actually knew women, you wouldn't even be asking this question. Men are the empathetic gender, not women.
>why not accept people age?
I accept people age but I also use a technological tool that allows me to model HOW and what pace I age.
Aging is natural. But so is cancer. We don't have to accept suffering just because it's natural, anon.

>>43425708
sorry i was being purposely bad faith as a way to basically challenge myself. im in the same boat as you and op and want to get on hrt. your reasonings make sense.

>>43424970
you can still wait for them to ask. Or just say ur a femboy. coming out full troon may make them hate you

>>43425366
>>43425411
if op is trans then serms would retard/ruin their Brest growth which they would want/need.

>>43425721
no worries, I'm accustomed to much worse (which is why I rarely talk about this).
Men have allowed themselves to be shamed by Karens and the weirdest religionfags into never doing anything for themselves. Welp, I just chose differently.
I like having a family and I'm not a faggot. But I also like to look better. It's actually quite funny that IRL I get commended on my looks but if I were to tell them how, then I'm suddenly bad. Yeah, fuck that. Always seeking validation from strangers is tiresome and unhealthy. Just do what you want. Life's too short anyway.

>>43425751
you can be trans and still want a flat chest

wouldnt it be nice to be a twink with soft skin and long hair and dick sucking lips and a big squishy booty who everyone in the male friend group lusts after "jokingly"

>>43425326
Went direct to monotherapy with injections. Then switched to patches once T was controlled.

>>43426127
oh so you went straight to full blown trans hrt and not what i thought the thread was about
